The Nissan LEAF will become a crossover in 2025
This should get me kicked out of the writer’s guild, but cannot be resisted. Nissan is turning over a new LEAF. Oof.
Actually, there is a lot here. The Nissan LEAF, in its various generations and updates, has been with us since 2010. It was the world’s first affordable EV and best seller in this segment until quite recently. But the sedan and hatchback have since slipped out of favour and, to move with the trend, the next-gen LEAF will be a crossover/small SUV. This car will be based on the Alliance modular CMF-EV platform.

Nissan’s roadmap to carbon neutrality
At this stage, only ostriches have not realised that climate change is the biggest threat facing humanity. We can pretend it is not real, or wail and gnash our teeth, or we can acknowledge the threat, look at the causes and take positive steps to fight climate change.

Electric Vehicles – Nissan’s Journey Into The Future

Nissan is on an EV journey into the future
Electric vehicles are not new – it is just now, or at least the past ten-plus years – that they have become a thing. Here is a nostalgia trip for those a bit older, and a weird but interesting fact for the younger generations. In the old days, they used to deliver your milk to your door early in the morning – 4 – 5h o’clock. They did this using a milk float, a small electric trolley thing with a driver/delivery guy. You put your glass milk bottles next to the front door, with cash or plastic tokens them for what you wanted. The guy on the float would replace your empty bottles with fresh milk (and/or cream) according to the tokens you left with the empties. The reason the float was electric had nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with not waking up the milk company’s customers.

Nissan aims to be completely carbon neautral
Nissan has announced that all its new vehicles in key markets would be electrified by the early 2030s, as part of the company’s drive to carbon neutrality by 2050. This is part of a global trend, with Mercedes and Audi recently announcing that they have stopped the development of future internal combustion engines (ICE), and GM also jumping feet first into the fray. In the meantime, Britain has moved their ban on non-electric cars forward by five years to 2030.
Have they all gone mad? Why now? Why so suddenly?
